Can't switch to console with ctrl+alt in X.

I just upgraded to Slackware 12 rc1 and everything works except when I try to switch to the consone using control + alt + F2.

How can I change this back to how it used to be with Slackware 11.0?

Make sure you have the following in your xorg.conf
Code:
Section "ServerFlags"
  Option "DontVTSwitch" "False"
  ...
EndSection
